Bare Feet, Ice Cream, Mosquitoes Like Cheese

Evidently it is totally normal, acceptable, and common to be barefoot at all times in Australia. In fact, you can walk into a store, or restaurant without a shirt or shoes and nobody even notices. Now, considering most people dress up and wear dresses everyday, or slacks, it is a bit funny to see them without shoes. But it happens. A barefoot man across the grass from me is wearing a tie. This phenomenon is messing with my brain. Perhaps this is what they mean by culture shock...

Now, another interesting note: all fancy drinks here contain ice cream. And yet, there are a bunch of skinny people. But the fruit smoothies have ice cream, not yogurt. The iced coffee is more like a coffee-ice cream float. It's glorious. Maybe espresso injected ice cream makes better for you? I'm not sure, but I like it.

To continue with interesting facts apparently you can make a mosquito trap with cheese, because some of the bacteria that is on your skin causing body odor, is closely related to the bacteria that ages cheese. The mosquitoes are attracted to your skin, and like-wise they can be attracted to the cheese. Bizarre, but true.
